1968 Ford Torino 390 2bl (Y code), 4 speed, Gulfstream Aqua, Aqua Vinyl buckets, PS with drum brakes Car was a restoration project that was started but never finished since early 2000. The car has had two repaints that I can see, one prior to 2002 which is visible in the door jambs and was also the wrong color and then again in 2002 when it was repainted the correct color code but the previous owner did not do the door jambs but he did have the inside of the trunk and under the hood sprayed. I would get the door jambs done and any body shop would do this for about $500. The body/paint is driver quality with two spots needing attention, one on the upper right rear quarter (filler has cracked), was told a new quart had been installed prior to the last paint job. The second spot is on the lower left bottom rear wheel opening, two bubbles are evident. Again these two spots could be fixed with ease and color matched. The interior has been partially redone but again never finished properly and still needs attention. There is an aftermarket steering wheel installed, wood grain but the original comes with the car but it needs restored due to cracking etc. The previous owner in 2002-05 had a headliner installed, door panels and bucket seat covers. The carpet is from the 90’s and has stains but might clean, but for $150 why bother. Package tray, sails and door cups need dyed. The dash paid is trashed but an OEM one with no damage comes with the car, it needs dyed as well. All the weather stripping has been changed and is in good shape. The seatbelts are in need of restoration and the passenger side upper roof one is missing. The armrests are ok but the drivers is missing. I do not have the center console. A few windows knobs are also missing. The trim along the front of the headliner was missing but I have one from a donor car, it needs dyed. All gauges, electronics work with the exception of the dome light, it needs replaced. The factory tach is present/functions and an oil pressure gauge has been installed where the clock or filler goes. The quarter edge lacing is cut and needs replaced but the vinyl window lace is again fairly new and in good condition. All the glass is ok and all the window tracks have been rebuilt back in 2000’s. Tires are good and the rims were previously sand blasted but have been scratched here and there from the trim rings being taken off, one trim ring has curbed rash and all 4 center caps GT emblem should be replaced. All stainless on the car is ok but could use a good polish. Both bumpers have been re chromed and still show well. The front grill GT emblem and rear GT emblem need attention, along with the rear taillight bezels (pitting). Both tail light lens are cracked. Side quarter molding along the windows are also pitted and need redone as well. All the suspension has been rebuilt since 2000’s to include ball joints, control arms, sway bar, shocks, and rear leaf springs, the car sits level. The rear end has been gone thru and now has 411 posi gears. The 4sp shifter has been rebuilt and the top loader has also been gone thru. The engine is the original block and has been gone thru and rebuilt and has a set of original 428CJ cast heads topped of with a edelbock aluminum intake and a Holley 750. A Mallory dist is installed and the original is still with the car. The motor has less than 1000 miles on it and at idle shows 65psi. Radiator has been gone thru as well. Brakes have also been redone. Exhaust has big tube headers and no leaks all the way back and still has plenty of life left. The metal dash has been cut but the metal was just bent back for a aftermarket radio and could be fixed easily, also an original radio comes with the car. The metal dash need painted and so do the windshield metal pillars on both sides. The car has the wrong fenders bolts but I have a OEM set. The drivers mirror is pitted and the clutch pedal trim is missing. There a few scratches on the car but just with rubbing compound the are already less visible, so a little 1000 grit on the clear coat should clean them up with ease. All in all the car is a good driver that needs about $1000 to make it look like an 18K car. Runs and drives great and almost everything mechanical has already been done. All that she needs is more or less cosmetic things done. As far as the undercarriage, torque boxes are good, floors are good and there is an old small 3 inch patch on the pass side that just needs undercoated to match the rest of the floor. Rails are fine, trunk is ok and so is under the front engine compartment. The previous owner spent over 20k on the car but just never stuck it out to finish the car from top to bottom and took over 15 years to try the get it done and now she just needs refreshed to get her done. I also have 1 inch folder with its repair history from all the way back to the 80’s. I have tried to describe the car from front to rear but I am human and do miss things, so please ask questions if you are a serious buyer and I will do my best to answer them and get you a photo of that specific area if possible. Clear title and a Marti Report.

Man chases down truck thief and steams it all on Facebook

Thu, Oct 13 2016

A Washington man chased down a truck stolen from his family's dealership last Saturday and livestreamed the event on Facebook. According to KOMO, a 2005 Ford F-250 was stolen from Sunrise Auto Sales in Eatonville, Washington on the morning of October 8. Aaron Babcock, who co-owns the small dealership with his father David, told reporters that after reviewing surveillance footage, he later spotted the truck while riding his motorcycle on Webster Road East. "I watched my cameras and found the video of a man lurking around and ending up taking off with my truck," Babcock told KOMO. "Cops came and made a case. Three hours later I was on my motorcycle in Graham, and they drove by me oncoming. It still had dealer stickers on it. It said diesel on the window and it had our dealer plate on it. It stuck out like a sore thumb. It was really easy to see." Once he spotted the stolen Super Duty, he wheeled his bike around and gave chase. He attempted to call 911, but was unsure if the dispatcher heard him due to noise from the wind and the bike's engine. So he fired up Facebook live and started streaming his chase, giving running commentary and updating his location as he chased the slow-moving truck. "I wasn't going to let him get away. I was going to try follow him down. I had no idea what to do," Babcock said. "Nobody could hear me on the phone so I just figured the first thing to do is pull up Facebook live." Babcock's Facebook friends pitched in by calling 911 to report the chase and even jumping in their own cars to follow the truck. At one point, he pulled alongside the truck and recognized both men in the cab. The driver was the man seen lurking around the dealer lot in the surveillance video, and the passenger was an old friend of Babcock's. "I know who you are!" he shouted at them, but the hunkered down and kept driving. Eventually, Babcock lost cell phone signal and the livestream ended. Eatonville police, who by this point were well aware of the incident, caught up with the truck in the 8400 block of 356th Street South in Eatonville. The driver was arrested and the passenger was questioned and released. Both denied stealing the vehicle or knowing it was stolen. Two sets of keys from Sunrise Auto Sales and a stolen credit card were also recovered from the truck. Related Video

Tesla Model S customers in China will receive a "Universal Mobile Charger" with their vehicle. The charger will allow drivers to charge their Tesla anywhere, without having to search out a Supercharger when out in the wild. It allows Model S drivers a bit more freedom and helps alleviate worries about traveling too far from home. It could also help sway potential customers who suffer from range anxiety. The charger will be free to new and existing customers when it becomes available this summer. Read more at Car News China.

Audi plans to give its electric vehicles looks that differentiate them from the rest of the lineup. "In early 2018, we will launch a battery-powered sports activity vehicle in the large premium segment with a range of more than 500 kilometers," says Audi's head of development, Ulrich Hackenberg. "It will have a new, very attractive design, which we are developing especially for the E-Tron range and for battery-electric vehicles." According to analysts, part of the reason the Toyota Prius was so successful was because it was easy to distinguish from other Toyota models with conventional powertrains.
